Have you heard of one of the latest news regarding AMD? It stands for Advance Medical Directive. It's a form which a person signs in advance to disallow any form of artificial methods to sustain life should the person becomes terminally ill (no more cure!) and can't make rational decisions anymore. 

Do you remember Terri Schiavo? The woman who had a sudden stroke and  cardiac arrest out of the blue, which led her to being dependent on machines for her survival. She was diagnosed as being 'brain dead' by 2 doctors. Her being on machines lasted for 15 years. The problem was...

For 5 years, her husband and her parents had a huge conflict of interests. Her husband wanted the tubes removed to end her suffering but her parents insisted that she was a devout Catholic who wouldn't agree on Euthanasia.

This situation was brought to court. Now, on top of the ethical issues, they had the legal issues to deal with.

Who was right? If Terri could talk, what would she want? Who then should be the final decision maker?

THIS CASE MADE ME HAVE TO WRITE A 3000-WORD ESSAY WHICH I HAVE TO SUBMIT IN 2 WEEKS' TIME. I so wish Terri had signed the AMD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now, you can see that the AMD is a very powerful form. :)

My GOD is over ALL...

AMEN!!!
